With water, seltzer or tea at every meal and green juice before her workout, Julianne “does a great job staying hydrated,” says Atlanta-based dietitian Marisa Moore. Hough also includes enough protein in each meal to build and maintain lean muscle mass. But, adds Moore, “if she’s doing an intense workout, she might consider adding a banana or another carb to help replenish her energy.”

If that’s not some awesome details, I don’t know what is!

Julianne Hough Workout Routine Research

Julianne Hough’s workout routine is something that is widely searched, and there’s a ton of information out there about it.

So, we’re going to do our best to compile it all and turn it into one regime that we can use (like always, duh)!

“I usually try [to work out] five times a week…I love to start my day off with a workout. It doesn’t have to be high-exertion, two hours, let’s go. But anything that gets me up and going. Sometimes it’s an hour and a half, sometimes it’s an hour, sometimes it’s 45 minutes, just depends how I’m feeling on that day.”

I really like that she states “just depends on how I’m feeling on that day”. I try to teach the members of The Academy that I work with to implement this into their training.

Some days you might have it, and some days you might not.

I could go to the gym today and deadlift 500 and then next week 350-400 lbs will be heavy and I just won’t have it in me.

It happens!

Self.com also gives us some great quotes from Hough as well, starting with:

“My whole thing is, I’m not doing it necessarily to make my body look good—I’m doing it because I love it and it’s fun,” Hough tells SELF. “I feel way better when I’m working out. Once I’ve taken care of myself I can be happy and joyful and do things at my top ability, and I feel like I can give the best version of myself [to other people].”

Which she continues with:

“A lot of people are like, ‘man, you’re so busy, how do you fit it in?’ But that’s my key thing: I don’t ‘fit’ it in, I schedule it in,” she says. For Hough, the morning is the time to get it done. “It sets the tone for the day for the rest of the day,” she says. “But I would not say that I’m a morning person, though. It takes everything that I have to get out of bed.”

And, in that interview she talks about how active of a person she is.

She could do a dance class one day, and then the next a Crossfit inspired beach workout, and then a trampoline fun activity day!

Here’s a couple incredible quotes from one of her Fitness Q&As that I found particularly important:

What do you find to be the most effective ab exercise? — Rachel M. on Facebook
I love them all! I find that mixing up my moves is what’s most effective. I like to lay on a box during leg raises, so I can really use my lower abs with each movement. I also love standing exercises for abs where I can really isolate my torso. I sometimes add hand weights to these moves in order to work my obliques too. Both are effective!

How do you stay on track with eating healthy on the weekends? — @pattilli7 on Instagram
Everything in moderation! I also like to say I’m committing to having a healthy lifestyle rather than using the phrase “dieting.”

How do you stay motivated? What do you binge on? — @michele_stuurman on Instagram
I stay motivated because I find that I actually FEEL better when I’m putting healthy, yummy food into my body. When I binge, I definitely go straight for the pizza and pasta!

How do you find time to workout with a busy schedule and travel? — @cegrey on Instagram
I make it a part of my schedule! A lot of people schedule their day and never put their workout in there, but that’s my first priority. I prefer to workout early in the morning because it not only energizes me for the day, but I find that’s the best time to do it before the busy day begins.

What are your daily morning routines, that you feel set you up for having a healthy and positive day? — @mfannin34 on Instagram
The first thing I do when I wake up is think of 5 things I’m grateful for, which immediately sets my tone for the day. I then snuggle Lexi and Harley for a good 10 minutes, have a healthy breakfast, and head straight to my workout.

What types of cardio do you do?? Asked by @hollyanne_33 on Instagram
I’ll take a dance cardio class at studios like Body By Simone and Tracy Anderson and take David Zint’s class at Soul Cycle!

How awesome is this?!

I mean, we have MORE than enough content to plan your routine’s out.

And, I’m stoked.
